Chapter 655: Chapter 370: Xia Pingzhou’s Third Contracted Demon (Double-Length)

The Furious Demon was completely stunned.

"Look, your companion is already dead. You are no match for the two of us." Xia Pingzhou said calmly.

"What do you want to do?"

The Furious Demon was silent for a long time, almost asking word by word.

"Sign a contract with me, and I will spare your life."

As he spoke, Xia Pingzhou withdrew the King Giant, moving towards the shield formed by the Furious Demon.

At the same time, the Mobius Ring Road encircling his body suddenly transformed into a key radiating a black-and-white halo, floating in mid-air.

The front of the key was engraved with the forms of the Shadow Demon and Cloning Demon, a shadow figure and a paper figure, while the back was densely etched with chess silhouettes: Queen, King, Knight, Soldier...

This was the Celestial Driver’s "contract state," a form that only appears when a contract with a demon is signed.

Each Celestial Driver’s contract state is different, but most are in the shape of "containers," like goblets, kettles, or even glass spheres...

For example, Ke Qirui’s Celestial Driver contract state was formed from the chain of that single-sided mirror, binding into a metallic sphere.

As shown before his eyes, Xia Pingzhou’s Celestial Driver "International Chess" contract state was a "key," something he found curious as it didn’t fit the definition of a container, yet he hadn’t found a definitive answer until now.

"If I’m not mistaken, the survivors of the Seven Deadly Sins were subjected to certain methods by the former Lake Hunting. Once the war begins, you have to stand on the human side. For you, becoming my Contracted Demon should be better than forcibly becoming a traitor to your race."

Speaking, Xia Pingzhou reached out to grasp the key, then bent down and handed the key towards the Furious Demon.

"Choose, sign a contract with me to preserve your dignity as a demon," he said, "or be drowned in the waste of humans."

After speaking, the Sewer Demon lifted a water gun filled with waste mixture again, aiming at the Furious Demon.

The Furious Demon remained silent for a while.

"Alright... I will go with you."

Having said this, its body gradually transformed from a shield shape back to the original silver cross, and then a skeletal figure emerged from within the cross.

The Queen Giant pressed its right hand on Xia Pingzhou’s shoulder while lifting a long dagger with its left to the neck of the Furious Demon.

In either the normal state or the contract state, if the Celestial Driver is destroyed, then the Exorcist will die.

Therefore, the Queen Giant must ensure that the Furious Demon does not retaliate by destroying Xia Pingzhou’s contract state Celestial Driver.

If such thoughts arose, the Queen would immediately nihilize Xia Pingzhou’s body along with the Celestial Driver. Then behead the Furious Demon.

A moment later, the Furious Demon raised its skeletal right arm, touching the key in Xia Pingzhou’s hand.

Subsequently, its form merged with the key, becoming a pattern etched on the front of the key, adjacent to the Shadow Demon and Cloning Demon.

The Shadow Demon covered its mouth, letting out a "kekekeke" laugh, as if welcoming the arrival of the new tenant.

The Cloning Demon trembled, hugged its knees, quietly sitting a bit further away, turning its face aside.

The black-and-white flowing light enveloped the key, returning to Xia Pingzhou’s hand.

Following this, a series of notification panels popped up in his eyes.

[Notification: The Celestial Driver "International Chess" of body number two has signed a contract with the rare demon "Furious Demon."]

[Abilities of the Furious Demon are as follows: Within 30 seconds, the Furious Demon will transform into either a "shield" or "sword" form for the Chess Player’s use, or for your Chess Species’ use.]

[Note One: When faced with attacks exceeding the shield’s limits, the Furious Demon’s "shield" form can sacrifice itself to help the user block the attack.]

[Note Two: The Furious Demon’s "sword" form can enhance the user’s strength.]

[Maximum existence time for Shadow Demon: 5 seconds]

[Maximum existence time for Cloning Demon: 10 seconds]

[Maximum existence duration for the Furious Demon’s sin: 15 seconds]

"After the Celestial Driver reached Tier Three, did the existence duration of the first two Contracted Demons also improve?" Xia Pingzhou thought, remembering how the Shadow Demon originally existed only for 3 seconds, and the Cloning Demon for 8 seconds. This visible increase was quite substantial.

On the battlefield, even 1 second is incredibly precious. Despite being only a few seconds, in reality, this is a huge enhancement.

Xia Pingzhou lowered his gaze to the last notification panel in his vision.

[The remaining available slots of the Celestial Driver: 0 (The Exorcist’s level has increased to Tier Three, currently contracted to three demons in total, reaching the contract limit)]

"Is it done?" Yanmo Lin sheathed her sword and walked over calmly.

"It’s done." Xia Pingzhou said, raising his hand to show her the key in his right hand.

The pattern on the surface of the key now included a skeletal figure bound to a silver cross, a faint black-and-white halo enveloping the key.

"Then let’s go... The leader said not to alert them," Yanmo Lin glancing at the key, then retracting her gaze to the Sewer Demon, her eyes turning cold, "If you bring out such demons to play again, I’ll cut you down."

Xia Pingzhou said plainly, "I’ve kept plenty of Sewer Demons to use during interrogations; if they don’t cooperate, I’ll have them drown those people."
